    No not really that big. The photo was taken a couple of months after they started growing. A little bigger than that now. Also I'm pretty sure she's not laying now. No signs of rooster mounting her and haven't seen her on the nest in a while.

    My 3 year old Buckeye hen, Becky, grew spurs this summer. She is still laying and we also have a rooster and she's not a dominant hen, although not at the bottom of the order either. I know this can happen, are some breeds more prone to it than others? Flock of 7 hens and one rooster.

    My one Buckeye from Meyer Hatchery. She's a nice chicken, none of mine are lap pets. She's a terrific forager on free range, not on top or on bottom of the pecking order. I just wanted a variety of chickens and picked a Buckeye for their hardiness. Wind is blowing her feathers in this picture...
